Bird Box (2018)

There are reports of strange mass suicides in Europe. People who seem fine, all of a sudden  decide to kill themselves. No one knows if it's a virus or how exactly it spreads.  Malorie, who is pregnant with her first child, hopes that whatever is causing this doesn't spread to the US.

While on a visit to the hospital for a check up, Malorie sees a woman smashing her head into a windows and then all hell breaks loose.  After her sister is seized by the madness, Malorie ends up sheltering in a large house nearby with a number of other survivors.  

They figure out that there is something outside and if you see it, you go crazy.  So they cover the windows with paper and when the food starts to run out, they work out a plan for going out to get more.

The movie takes place over five years, and in the present, Malorie and two young children are blindfolded in a row boat trying to get down the river where they've heard there is a safe place with other survivors. But is it a trap? And how the hell do you get through the rapids while wearing a blind fold? 

If you go along with the premise, its entertaining, although sometimes frustrating.  And god damn it, the other pregnant woman is an idiot and will drive you insane. But since we know who is on the river trip, we are aware that characters are going to disappear over the course of the film and probably with bad results.    Also there are many unanswered questions. What are these creatures? Where did they come from? What purpose does it serve to kill everyone?  Who are the people who can be out without blindfolds, and how did they come to be this way?  Why wouldn't you be more careful about going back to a house where these non-blindfolded people almost caught you once?

If you're hoping to see the creatures, you don't.  That's often the best way to go since imagination can be far scarier than what shows up as monsters on the screen.  And in this case that is definitely true since they've released a photo of what the creatures were going to look like. You'll be sorely disappointed and glad they aren't in the film.

And if you are one of the few that haven't already seen it, yes, there is literally a bird in a box.
